Are The Good Times Really Over chords by Merle Haggard

F
I wish a buck was still silver, and it was back when the country was strong,
   C
 Back before Elvis, and before the Vietnam war came along,
         F
Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work, and still would,
    G7
 is the best of the free life behind us now,
   C
 and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
F
 Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
C
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell.

F
I wish a Ford or a Chevy, would still last ten years like they should.
    G7
 Is the best of the free life behind us now,
 C
 And Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
 F
I wish Coke was still cola, and a joint was a bad place to be.
C
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV.
 F
Before Microwave ovens, when a girl could still cook, and still would,
G7
 Is the best of the free life behind us now,
C
 and Are The Good Times Really Over For Good.
F
 Stop rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell.
C
 Standup for the flag, and let's all ring the liberty bell.
F
 Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should.
G7
 The best of the free life is still yet to come,
C
 And the good times ain't really over for good.
